    摘要: A system and method for noise compensation of a charged particle beam location includes one or more sensors that are spaced apart from each other for sensing magnetic noises within at least one predefined frequency band thereby to provide magnetic noise measurements with synchronous detection of the location of a charged particle beam. Based on the magnetic noise measurements and on relationships between values of the magnetic noises and particle beam location errors, magnetic noise compensations signals are generated. An object is then scanned by a particle beam in response to a desired particle beam scan pattern and the magnetic noise compensation signals.

    摘要: A particle beam column for high-resolution imaging and measurement of topographic and material features on a specimen. The particle beam column includes a particle source for providing a primary beam along a primary beam axis for impinging on the specimen so as to release secondary electrons and backscattered electrons therefrom. The particle beam column also includes an objective lens for focussing the electrons so as to provide a radial dispersion of electrons relative to the primary beam axis, the radial dispersion of electrons including an inner annulus of backscattered electrons and an outer annulus of secondary electrons. The particle beam column still further includes a backscattered electron detector for detecting the inner annulus of backscattered electrons and a secondary electron detector for detecting the outer annulus of secondary electrons.

    摘要: A method for imaging a surface, including scanning a first region of the surface with a primary charged particle beam at a first scan rate so as to generate a first secondary charged particle beam from the first region, and scanning a second region of the surface with the primary charged particle beam at a second scan rate faster than the first scan rate so as to generate a second secondary charged particle beam from the second region. The method also includes receiving the first secondary charged particle beam and the second secondary charged particle beam at a detector configured to generate a signal in response to the beams, and forming an image of the first and the second regions in response to the signal.
